One thing Dave Clum and I do when we are in Vegas is to run over the the Sports Book at Caesars to look at some of the betting lines on baseball for the upcoming season. I found the sheets I got this year. A couple of numbers:

2017 Most Regular Season Home Runs - Chris Davis, Nolan Arenado, Kris Bryant and Nelson Cruz were all 8/1. The favorite? Giancarlo Stanton at 7/1. Sometimes they know what they are doing. Sometimes not. Aaron Judge was 150/1...probably won't be that next year. Other notables...JD Martinez 75/1. Kris Davis 35/1. Joey Gallo 200/1.

Favorites to win their divisions?

Astros 11/10
Indians 1/5
Red Sox 2/3

Dodgers 4/9
Cubs 1/6
Nationals 5/8

Clean Sweep.

Over/under's on wins (OU/W):

Pretty close on Boston (92/93), Miami (76/77), St. Louis (84.5/83) and Angels (79/80).

Not so much San Francisco (88/64), Arizona (77.5/93), Detroit (83/64), Mets (88.5/70), and Brewers (71/86).

Anyway...kind of fun to see what Vegas knows in March...
